PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri, known as TransNusa, is set to launch a new international flight route from Bali to Singapore, commencing on 17 November. The airline began selling tickets for this route on 17 October, with prices starting at $79 (S$109). This new service is part of TransNusa’s strategy to expand its international presence, catering to the significant demand from Singaporean tourists visiting Bali.
Initially, TransNusa will operate three weekly flights on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays, with plans to increase to daily flights from 30 November. The flights will depart Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport at 7:30 am, arriving at Singapore Changi Airport at 9:55 am. The return flight will leave Singapore at 10:55 am, landing in Bali at 1:30 pm. The airline will utilise its Airbus A320, which accommodates 174 passengers, for this route.
TransNusa’s CEO, Datuk Bernard Francis, highlighted the importance of this route, stating, “The Bali-Singapore international route is significant to TransNusa as Singaporeans are one of ASEAN’s top tourists for Bali.” The airline offers various service packages, including SEAT, SEATPLUS, and FLEXIPRO, which provide benefits such as additional baggage allowance and flexible booking options.
TransNusa, established three years ago, has rapidly expanded its network, becoming the first Indonesian airline to introduce several new routes. The airline continues to focus on providing affordable yet premium services, aiming to enhance travel experiences for its passengers.
